Question

Elena ate dinner at a restaurant. the bill came to $48. if she left a 10% tip, how much was the tip?

Answer 1

To calculate the tip amount, you can multiply the bill by the tip percentage expressed as a decimal.

The tip percentage is 10%, or 0.1 in decimal form.

So, the tip amount is:

tip = bill x tip percentage
tip = $48 x 0.1
tip = $4.80

Therefore, Elena left a tip of $4.80.

Answer 2

48 / 100 = .48
.48 x 10 = 4.8
The answer is 4.8
